After co-founding a food-sector start-up and backing early-stage technology ventures, Revant Bhate, then in his late 30s, began to see that health often took a back seat for many Indians. Motivated to address this gap, he teamed up with Dhyanesh Shah in 2019 to launch Mosaic Wellness, a digital health-care platform, built to meet diverse consumer needs. Today, the company has established itself as a significant player in India’s digital health landscape, with a multi-brand portfolio tailored to different demographic groups.

"If we can make someone feel less awkward asking for help, and give them something that really works over time, we’ve done our job" Revant Bhate Co-founder and CEO

The company operates three primary digital clinics: Man Matters for men’s health and wellness, Be Bodywise for women’s health concerns and Little Joys targeting parental and children’s well-being.
